When the Global Pulse initiative was launched by the UN Secretary-General in late 2009, its mission to use real-time and other non- traditional data sources in development and humanitarian action was groundbreaking. 2014 was a landmark year for embracing the importance of data analysis in achieving sustainable development. Throughout the year, the "Post-2015 data revolution" agenda was taken-up in governments, public sector and civil society organisations.
Over the past year, Pulse Labs in New York, Jakarta and Indonesia have supported the growth of a thriving community of practice, redefined the data innovation landscape and demonstrated how real-time data can play a role in supporting decision-makers and shaping public service delivery. With 25 joint data innovation projects implemented over the year, in partnership with 25 UN & Govt innovation project partners, 30 private sector collaborators and academics from 26 institutions, Global Pulse is contrbuting to a body of evidence that demonstrates how big data analysis can complement traditional approaches to development planning and monitoring.
Global Pulse's Annual Report 2014 highlights big data innovation projects carried out over the past year, and new milestones in the evolution of a "big data for development" ecosystem.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

JUNAR Case study Palo Alto m1116
1.
A LEADER IN CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
The City of Palo Alto, California, known as the
"Birthplace of Silicon Valley" and home to Stanford
University, is recognized worldwide as a leader in
cutting-edge technological development. So it’s no
surprise that the city embraced the Open Data
movement and chose Junar’s Open Data Platform to
give people real-time access to information.
BUILDING ON A TRADITION OF
INNOVATION
Palo Alto City Manager, Jim Keene, hired Jonathan
Reichental in late 2011 to serve as the city’s Chief
Information Officer. As CIO, Dr. Reichental is the
city’s senior executive responsible for planning and
directing a forward-thinking and innovative technology
strategy to assist city departments in providing quality
services to the citizens, businesses and visitors of
Palo Alto.
Dr. Reichental is pushing the boundaries of innovation
in local government such as open data and broader
civic participation through mobile devices. Most
recently, he spearheaded the city’s local participation
in the first-ever National Day of Civic Hacking event, in
which 5,000 people came together to focus on civic
innovation and to help shape the future of their
communities.

2. OPEN DATA IN JUST THREE WEEKS
Junar’s Co-founder Diego May and Dr. Reichental
connected at an industry event. After meeting with the
City’s technical team, work began on implementing an
Open Data solution for Palo Alto. In just three weeks
Palo Alto’s first Open Data site was ready to launch!
ADVANTAGES OF JUNAR’S PLATFORM
Palo Alto’s IT department considered using an open
source solution to build their own platform. They
quickly recognized that Junar’s system had
capabilities that would require several man years to
duplicate. Furthermore, they would be burdened with
the cost of ongoing support of their own software for
years to come.
Palo Alto’s management also recognized that Junar’s
solution was in wide use by cities in both North and
South America, and as Junar’s global footprint
expands, so would Palo Alto’s presence as a leader in
the open data movement. Junar’s API opens doors for
future innovation and development by third parties.
“For
